6PGD

6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, C-terminal domain
6PGD
SMART accession number:SM01350
Description: This family represents the C-terminal all-alpha domain of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The domain contains two structural repeats of 5 helices each.
Interpro abstract (IPR006114):

6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase ( EC 1.1.1.44 ) (6PGD) is an oxidative carboxylase that catalyses the decarboxylating reduction of 6-phosphogluconate into ribulose 5-phosphate in the presence of NADP. This reaction is a component of the hexose mono-phosphate shunt and pentose phosphate pathways (PPP) [ (PUBMED:2113917) (PUBMED:6641716) ]. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic 6PGD are proteins of about 470 amino acids whose sequences are highly conserved [ (PUBMED:1659648) ]. The protein is a homodimer in which the monomers act independently [ (PUBMED:6641716) ]: each contains a large, mainly alpha-helical domain and a smaller beta-alpha-beta domain, containing a mixed parallel and anti-parallel 6-stranded beta sheet [ (PUBMED:6641716) ]. NADP is bound in a cleft in the small domain, the substrate binding in an adjacent pocket [ (PUBMED:6641716) ].

This entry represents the C-terminal all-alpha domain of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The domain contains two structural repeats of 5 helices each. The NAD-binding domain is described in IPR006115 .
